Capital Markets Transaction Advisory
The successful execution of an equity or debt offering often requires a partner that is experienced in navigating the dynamic public market landscape and the regulatory and reporting complexities inherent in a capital markets transaction. Our team acts as a trusted partner and advocate for your company through the various stages of a capital markets transaction, and we leverage our depth of experience in SEC reporting, technical accounting, FP&A, and operations to provide a comprehensive, solutions-oriented approach to the transaction process. We have the ability to scale in order to meet high demand transaction timelines and treat your transaction deadlines as our own. This enables your company’s leadership to capitalize on windows of opportunity in the public markets while continuing to focus on strategic growth initiatives and value creation throughout the lifecycle of a transaction.
IPO Readiness
An IPO can be an attractive path to access capital to drive long-term growth and is often a transformational milestone for a private company. The IPO market is highly dynamic and, at times, volatile, with windows of opportunity for a public transaction opening and closing as macroeconomic and geopolitical factors shift and the regulatory environment changes. Our goal as an advisor is to put your company in the best position to not only capitalize on windows of opportunity to go public, but also to successfully operate as a public company post-transaction.

De-SPAC Transactions
The number of SPAC IPOs significantly increased in 2020 and 2021. As a result, the opportunity for a private operating company (the target) to merge with a SPAC through a de-SPAC transaction became a compelling alternative path to access the public markets to fund growth. The recent increase in SPAC transactions has been highly scrutinized by the SEC and underscores the importance of partnering with a skilled advisor to successfully execute a de-SPAC transaction within a company’s desired timeline.
